Default Is this sticker original?

I found this sticker hanging in my engine compartment, attached to heater box. First I thought it was just a bubbas piece of aluminium tape, but then I noticed that there is text on it. I gently tried to clean it and this is the best I could do... It clearly says:
Harrison
General Motors corp. Lockport, N.Y.
Air conditioning
A-70??? SAE J639

Is this sticker original or is it some repairement shop sticker? I'm a bit confused because it says GM in there...

Anybody have any clue? :cheers:

Thanks for the info guys!

Thanks for the compliments!
Infact A/C compressor is long gone and I'm going to take away also the rest of A/C stuff, they are just additional weight in my car... It doesn't get that hot in here even at the summertime... If it's too hot taking the T-tops away will do the trick... :cheers:

PS. I found that at least Corvette America has those aluminium foil stickers for sale as reproduction... I don't need one though... :smash:

Nice to see a home town sticker (Lockport is a short ride from Buffalo, NY) all the way over in Finland!!! :lol:

Harrison has supplied radiators for GM for a long time...

I don't think that is a compressor sticker. I think it is off the Evaporator box or the Evaporator itself. The compressor sticker has charge and oil information and is green and red I think.

77BuffaloVet: The sticker has made a long journey from Lockport to sunny California and from there to Finland! :lol:

Markdtn, verskel and PatG: The sticker was hanging on firewall, so I thought is wasn't coming from the compressor. This car didn't even have the A/C compressor when I bought it...

Anyway, now I know one sticker more about Corvette history! Thanks everyone for the answers! :cheers:
